It is that time of the year again where houses are decked with lights, the smell of delectable sweets and savories is in the air, and joy and festive spirit is in the hearts of everyone. Yes, it is Diwali time.

AgilizTech celebrates the victory of hope over despair and good over evil every year with great gusto, and 2018 was no exception. The team had a gala time indulging in festivities on Friday, 02 November.

AgilizTech celebrates Diwali

Hosted by the AgilizTech Fun Committee, Diwali 2018 witnessed the team participating in the festivities by decorating the workplace. A beautiful traditional rangoli was drawn at the foyer, welcoming everyone cheerfully with its bright colors. A special dress code had been announced for the team with prizes for the best dressed.

The first event of the day was the team reminiscing their favorite Diwali moments. Mr Ganesh, MD & CEO, spoke about how Diwali meant new clothes, the exciting thiruvizha (village fair), the thrill of bursting crackers and delicious sweets made at home. Other team members also spoke about what Diwali signifies for them and how they celebrated the event with their families over the years.

Dressed to win !

Not just the office, even the employees were decked in their finest traditional attire keeping in line with the dress code, with the competition of the best dressed won by Dinesh and Rajesekaran among the gentlemen and Pooja, Nikitha and Ramyashree amongst the ladies.

Celebrating with sweets

The event ended with Mr Ganesh distributing sweets among the team, along with exchanging greetings and good wishes.

We are elated to announce that AgilizTech completed three years of its journey on June 10, 2018. What started as a small aspiration of Mr. Ganesh Babu (MD and CEO of AgilizTech) has taken flight as an upcoming company in the IT services arena. To mark this important milestone, on June 09, 2018, the AgilizTech family congregated at Golden Palms Resort, Bangalore for a day of cheer and celebrations.

It was a cloudy Saturday when we assembled at Golden Palms resort. Set amidst lush greenery, the sights instantly refreshed us from the daily hustle and bustle of the city, and the glowing screens of our laptops. It was with this refreshed mindset and a jolly festive mood that the AgilizTech extended family (the team and their family members) gathered for the celebrations.

Hosted by Ms. Meghana Manjunath and Mr. Surya Saravana Kumar, the day started on a traditional note with a lamp lighting ceremony in which the guests participated.

Consistently Grow

Mr. Sujeeth spoke on the importance of upskilling ourselves to serve customers better and take up more challenging opportunities. Mr. Anand elaborated on the service delivery practice at AgilizTech, bottlenecks and solutions, and Mr. Karan showcased the goodwill enjoyed by AgilizTech among current employees as well as aspirants using Glassdoor statistics.

What TAKE stands for…

Next, the chief guest Mrs. Arundhati Rao was called on stage to present her keynote, which was short yet impactful.

Mrs. Rao explained how we should apply the TAKE formula in our professional and personal lives to be successful. According to Mrs. Rao TAKE stands for:

T – ‘T’echnology

Wherein we ought to look at technology as a means to achieve ends. Technology is the great enabler that solves business problems. So, focus on how to end the customer problem, and then pick up a technology that suits the situation.

A – ‘A’spire

Often, people look at jobs as nine to five’s that pay the bills and keep us occupied. Mrs. Rao urged us to seek more from life by aspiring for higher goals. She stressed upon the point of building careers over holding jobs.

K –S’k’ills

In order to aspire and grow, individuals need to acquire and polish skills. In a fast-changing world, where a new technology emerges every other day, it is important to stay updated. While staying put makes one complacent, staying relevant to the industry helps one tap into new opportunities.

E – ‘E’mpower

Mrs. Rao explained that we must all empower ourselves by showing initiative and helming responsibilities even when it is not expected of us. We must not just do a job, we must own it.

It was a very inspiring 45-mins speech that motivated us all to be better employees and individuals. We are sure that these nuggets of wisdom from such experienced professionals would help us move ahead in our careers and lives.

Awards galore at the AgilizTech Third Anniversary celebrations

To recognize the contributions of the employees over the years, AgilizTech presented awards and certificates. The awards were handed over by the guests – Mrs. Arundhati Rao, Mr. Alakappan Sreenivasan and Mrs. Deivanai, Mr. Koilraj Jeyasingh, Mr. Ganesh Babu and his wife Mrs. Vijaya Bharathi.

Dubsmash – A smash hit among the AgilizTech Team

The Dubsmash craze has swept the whole world and we Agilians aren’t immune either. The AgilizTech Fun Committee had asked the entire team to create dubsmashes and submit. It was quite a new way for everybody to let their hair down and get out of comfort zones. The result was a compilation of downright hilarious videos in a mélange of languages – Hindi, Kannada, Tamil and more. The audience thoroughly enjoyed the videos almost as much as the team did when creating them.

Apart from dubsmash, AgilizTech Fun Committee had also asked the team to create videos expressing their thoughts on AgilizTech’s third anniversary. What resulted was a beautiful compilation of videos where employees conveyed their heartfelt wishes towards the continued success of AgilizTech.

Here’s the video.

Cut the Cake!

No anniversary celebration is ever complete without a cake cutting ceremony. And we are not ones to be left behind. We had a beautiful 3Kg White Forest delicacy for the AgilizTech third anniversary celebrations, and the whole team participated in the cake cutting.

Cut the cake!

Fun in the sun

With that the formal event came to an end and the AgilizTech family was free to enjoy lunch and the splendors of the Golden Palms Resort. The swimming pool was a major attraction as a lot of employees chilled in the blue waters. Later the team moved on to the cricket ground for some friendly matches, wherein individuals showcased their cricketing prowess.

The AgilizTech third anniversary was a day of merriment, motivation and celebration for the entire AgilizTech family. Three years is a very important milestone in our journey, and we will strive to work harder as there are many more miles to go and many, many more summits to climb. We also take this opportunity to thank all our customers, partners and well-wishers who have stood with us throughout this period and provided encouragement and support.

Onward, we march!

The reception area was decked with a bejeweled 4-feet tree, with gifts adorning the base. The office floor was rife with excitement, with people opening gifts from their Secret Santas. Yes, the Christmas magic had descended on AgilizTech on 22nd Dec 2017. The Fun Committee had strived to create a fun-filled experience for all the employees. They had announced a dress code for the Christmas 2017 Celebrations at AgilizTech – outfits with green, white and red colors, which added festive colors in the work atmosphere.

Santa Time!

AgilizTech played Secret Santa this year, and boy was it fun! The desks had exploded with glittery wrapping papers and colorful ribbons, with the employees gleefully opening gifts, and guessing who their Santa might be.

Games Galore

Apart from adding vibrant colors, the Fun Committee also conducted amusing games that had the employees in splits – a spin of ‘pin the tail’ was conducted, where the player had to paint a tail on the elephant while blindfolded. There were other team games as well, which everyone thoroughly enjoyed. The winners got to take home sweetmeats and goodies, along with bragging rights until the next year.

Cake cutting

What is a Christmas celebration without a rich and delicious plum cake? And the joy doubled when one of our kind-hearted employees brought a scrumptious home-made cake as well!

An evening of fun, festivities and excitement, the Christmas 2017 celebrations at AgilizTech was a grand success.

The AgilizTech family wishes you and your loves ones a very happy Christmas and a joyous new year!
